Oh ok, I am.

Here's the misleading ad for the Sea Monkey's by the way:



Lying bastards!

^ No visual...

The most disappointing thing of all about the whole sorid incident was that the Mum Sea Monkey was kinda hot looking to a 8yr old boy.

Broke my heart it did.

The Hilton - as I only drunk it at the end of a long night on the piss in HH, I have no idea what it tastes like.

Really? Maybe if you shout loud enough they'll hear you and restock it.

ST. LOUIS, Missouri (AP) -- Anheuser-Busch agreed to be acquired by Belgian brewer InBev for about $52 billion in a deal that would shift ownership of the nation's largest brewer overseas, The Wall Street Journal reported Sunday.

The deal, which is subject to shareholders' and regulators' approval, would create the world's largest brewer and create the fourth-largest consumer product company worldwide. The newspaper cited anonymous sources who said Anheuser-Busch-InBev would be the new company's name and Anheuser would have two seats on the board.

Anheuser-Busch Cos. Inc. did not return messages seeking comment Sunday evening.

The newspaper said the deal was for $70 a share, a $5 increase over the offer Anheuser-Busch rejected in June.

InBev, the maker of Stella Artois and Becks, is the world's second-largest beer-maker behind SABMiller. Anheuser-Busch is by far the largest brewer in the U.S. with more than 48 percent of the market share.

It wasn't immediately clear how long approval might take from regulators and shareholders. Several Missouri politicians have expressed concerns about the merger -- especially how it would affect the approximate 6,000 people employed by Anheuser-Busch in St. Louis.

InBev has said it plans to use St. Louis as its North American headquarters, and that it will keep open all 12 of Anheuser-Busch's North American breweries.

Well thats Bud and Miller gone to foreign ownership. Strangely, it means that most of the decent beer brewed in the US you can now say is American.

^ There go our Bud commercials with the clydesdales and the dalmations. InBev is a mega cost cutter.

Nice wrap up to the report, sabang. You should sub for Jon Stewart when he's on vaccies.

The name of a high quality Czech beer brewed in Ceske Budejovice (formerly Budweis), that subsequently had it's name foking jack moved by piss water loving american red necks who turned this once primo brand into one of the worlds most effective displays of brewing incompetence. Enjoyed by millions Nascar enthusiast across the country.

Jet, pick up some Budweiser. I can drink like foking 12 of those and still be sober. Shit, I may even get it up while banging my cousin. Of course, only after watching Dale Earnhardt drive in circles.

How nice for you, stalker.

Growing up you'd see it in movies, read about it in books, and see the ads in US magazines. I always thought: 'Great! Can't wait to try that!!'. Eventually I did and it was shite.

Another disappointment in a similar vein was Oreo cookies. And that family of sea-monkeys. They looked nothing like the ad in the comic! They didn't even look like monkeys for chrissakes!

I like Oreos . . . and am a Twinkies and Hostess Cupcake addict . . .

Budweiser? hahahahaha . . . so, Jet, who says the Bud commercials will go? Worst thing that can happen is that better beer will be available.

Actually, the plan of Inbev is to make Budweiser international, exporting the strong brand name, if not the good taste...

What does Budweiser stand for?


Because you deserve what every individual should enjoy regularly.

Well Fuck, I knew it would happen when I quit, while I was drinking I did have them on 2 shifts and then when I quit I knew they would have to fold, but they hung on for over 26 and 1/2 years before they had to lock the doors.

Budweiser will always be the King of Kings: The King of Beers, as itwer!

However, Labatts and Corona beers are also good beers too...after all, they both come from countries that have Free Trade Agreements with the good ol' U.S.

(Thailand's next...which means cheaper groceries for Americans living in LOS).

^ Don't hold your breath- Australia signed a free Trade agreement with Thailand a few years ago. Aussie wine remains as expensive as ever here.

Coz InBev is focused on cost cuts. I doubt they will keep the whole ad budget.

Hmmm, I thought InBev wants Bud for its domestic distribution network (altho Bud is having probs as some of its local distributors want to branch out and add other products that compete directly to Bud) for its own brands, like Stella. As noted here, not many foreign folks enjoy the taste of Bud.

^Yeah, about 10 years ago, this huge mini-brewery fad sprang up all across America, and today, you can get fantastic brews in every medium-large size US city (perhaps even in small cities today?). Of course, I spent my teen years drinking Colorado kool-aid (Coors), so I s'pose I'm not too qualified to judge good beer.

Yes, lots of good beer available in the US.
But most of the good stuff is 3x or more expensive than the cheap stuff.

I usually start with several high-end labels and then, after I'm well lubricated, start slumming.

Flavors to suit all tastes. Those who continually spout otherwise should consider a visit.

Don't know if it is easier, just less infirmed. Living somewhere can also uncover more crap . . . did any of us think that there are as many aspects of Thailand which are quite awful as we thought when we first arrived?


Beer . . .

My favourite US beer: Sam Adams - used to live and work near Hudson, Mass and was introduced to many, many micro-brews . . . granted, Sam Adams is not a micro-brew . . . but it does taste oh-so-good.
